Founding her own indie label. An electric guitar endorsement deal by 16. Award nominations, and subsequent celebrations. TV appearances, radio airplay, nationwide tours. Critically acclaimed releases in the form of debut EP Eradication, eponymous LP Leanne Harte, and live album An Irish Girl in Paris. Whilst most of her peers were embracing the mischief that teenage and college years bring, Dublin multi-instrumentalist singer songwriter LEANNE HARTE was embarking on an impressive musical journey...

But like any journey worth making, there are inevitable bumps in the road - and struggles with both herself and others around her eventually led to Leanne taking a well-earned break to embrace alternative projects.

But Leanne never neglected her love of songwriting in the interim, switching her allegiance to all things acoustic to craft material which she has since been road-testing with long-time collaborators in venues across Ireland and Germany for the last 18 months. Her new EP showcases this new direction, produced by Ray Traynor & Gary Reddy, and recorded in Loudroom Studios. Restless Sleepers is out now and includes five servings of folk-with-an-edge, including live favourites ‘Wrote Away’, ‘Easy When You’re Gone’ and title track ‘Restless Sleepers’.
